Guided Visit to the Castle of Corroy-le-Château
1 July 2018, 15:00
Join us on July 1 for an escape to the countryside and a guided tour of the Castle of Corroy-le-Château.
The castle is considered the most remarkable and intact medieval castle from the 13th century in Belgium. This exclusive property presents architectural marvels spanning across six centuries, from the 13th to the 19th. It is currently inhabited and managed by the Marquis de Trazegnies, the descendant of the noble family who has historically owned the property for centuries.
The event is jointly organised with the Oxford and Cambridge Societies of Belgium. Participants are also invited to join for a glass of bubbly and some light snacks after the guided tour ends. If you would like to join, please bring €5 with you on the day to cover the cost.
